After supper Ninaman was tojd that he must spend part of the night alone, as the family Vouia altei d a protract ed meeting in the neighborhood., The host, with his wife and daughter, left tlie house and Ninaman sat in one of the rooms alone, ' His loncsoraeness was added to by an !xwl in the yard, which hooted dismally, and an old rett clock on a slielf, whicli ticked sol emnly. The drummer, not having been asigned to a room, could not go to bed, and he tried to kep' awake by reading the "Xrfe.of St. Panl,V the only book he could find.: . The hog grease lamp -was sputtering m jnnison with the ticking of the clock J when the' door of an-ihner room opened arid a tall, wild eyel, .bushy-haired man eiit2rJ'a,Withoutp hi mself and stared at Ninaman, who naturally showed, surprise.'

When he came to "take up arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them he seized the pistol, cocked it and placed the muzzle against his head. "Shall I end them ?" he yell bles were not greater than he could bear, and ,askpd the man to lay aside his pistol. "Ah, I see you do not like tragedy. You no doubt like comedy. Piill off your coat aud -dance or I'll end your life." . .The pistol was leveled and Nina man pulled off his coat and began to dance." ; "Whoop it up," yelled the man, "or, Til end them.

Hofne,: while fishing re cently InrFlint river,- G a., was dis turbed by the continual falling of some hcavjTIjody in the water. After listening for some time he coucl tided that something unusual was going on, and, seizing his gun, went forward to investigate. On the opposite side of tlieriver ihe'saw a1 white object with a large darjc one attacking it. A boat beiiigliandy,' he bailel it, and expe ditiously j and quietly passed over. He struck the bank alxuit twelve feet above the cause of disturbance, seiz ins gnn,j and, as the boat swung around with the stream, fired at the head of the dark object. He then dropped the gon, and as the boat drill ed he lilted an immense logger-head turtle into it, after which he pit lied in the other! object, which proved to be a large sturgeon. -Before he could re cross the river, the turtle, which was only stunned by the bird shot, recov ered and showed fight. The situation was lively and interesting. The boat was leaky, the water deep and swift, the turtle large, strong and determin ed on a fight. It advanced with open mouth, and CuPs gun was empty. He gave t lifeboat all the impetus pos sibfc stuck! the paddle in the beast's mouth, drew a little ienkuife from his pocket and tried to cut its throat. As the turtle kept its hold on the paddle, he succeeded in this after several ef ed, flourishing the pistol. "Shall I end w af en t0111"?. happened to pass through them witli VOU ?"

Her Wfc g,inff free herself caused her to sink deen- cr and deeper idthe mife in'whieh she wL caught. In this! portion she remained for eight days, witli no food except bark' from the bushes which grew within her reach. The water she drank she dipped from the bo with her hands. Mrs. Avery's brother, whom she was on hex way to see, was not aware of hisisters intended visit, and no search was made for the missing woman, i A man named Basden residing in Lacka- Lackawaxen township, aud carried his gun in the hope of killing some game. As he was passing along the edge of the swamp he heard a peculiar moaning noise, He at lirst thought it was the j moaning of cattle that might 6e grazing in the woods. He paid no further attention, and passed on. Soon the same noise was heard again, this time more distinctly. He followed in the direction of the noise, ad was soon in the very heart of the swamp. He stopped again to listen furtherwhen, looking to.his right, he saw an object moving; which he found to be Mrs. Avery, struggling between life and death, He attempted to extricate her, but failed, and was obliged io walk some dis tance for help. After giving notice to the nearest neighbors, he returned, accompani ed by a numiwr of men with a wagon. They finally succeeded in extricating the woman, and she was driven to a heighboring house, andlnedical assistance summoned. Although Mrs. Avery is yet very weak from the terri ble ordeal through which she passed, she will recover. When questioned concerning her feelings while imprisoned in the mire, she replied that they were beyond descrip tion. She had, on the seventh day, given upaall hope of being rescued alive, but on the morning of the eighth day she had a presentiment that help would reach her. Mr Avery's mind is somewhat impaired by the terrible struggle between life and death. The Physical Value op Sing ing. Singing! is one of the healthiest exercise in which men, women and children can The Medical I VocIienacJirift, of St. Petersburg, has an article based upon exhaustive re searches made byProf. Monassein du ring the autuniu of 1878, when he ex amined 222 singers ranging between the ages of nine and fifty-three. He laid chief Weight upon the growth and altsolute circu inference of the chest, upon the comparative relation of the latter to the tallness of the subject, and upon the pneumatometric and spirometric condition of the singer. It appears to be an 'ascertained fact from Dr. Monnassein's experiments that the relative, and even the abso lute circumference of chest is greater among singers than among those who do not sing, and that it increases with the growth' and age of the singer. The j 1)rjlVss1rcven says that singing may be jdaced physically as the antithesis of drinking spirituous liquors. The lat ter hinders while the former promotes. . The wholesale and wanton destruc tion of walrus by the whaling-ship crews in the Arctic ocean, - which has been going on for some time and is increasing every year, is likely to re sult in their practical extermination unless it is speedily checked. The cap tain of a New Bedford whaler esti mates that no less than 30,000 walrus diave been killed this season, only about a third bf which were .secured One of the results of this needless and useless slaughter is the death through starvation of niany of the natives of the Arctic regions, who depend upon the Walrus for food. In one village of 200 people all but one man died last winter, and in other villages from a third to a half of the population pcrislied. Some of the whaling ves sel captains have been humane enough this year to refrain from killing any walrus. ; j ' onists. i t i i - h ?h?

In all times, in all lands, and under all circumstance?, the Confessional has been the instrument of vice, a temptation and help to secret sin. Instead of helping to relieve burdened consci ences, it h as ministered to priestly in iquities and the ruin of precious souls. That it finds apologists in the Anglican Church and some imitators, is but another illustra tion of the weakness of poor human nature, and of the need of vigilant opposition to the wiles of he devil, which are as crafty a3 they arc deadly.

As we cannot separate in fact, or even in consciousness, the apprehension of beauty from delight in it, so we cannot separate from faith in Christ, love, zeal, devotion and submission.

Whitesboro, Oct. 24, 1870. ' P. W. ' A Comtetest Jcror. The General Term's decision fn the case' of Pender is a Very important one, and ought to work a great change in the practice. By the gen eral dissemination' of knowledge throngh the means of the public press, information of the occurrence and details of great crimes had been circulated through all classes' of the reading Community, and persons other wise competent as jurors were found in that way to have formed opinions which, : under the principles of the common law, rendered them incompetent to sit in the trial of such causes. The result was that the reading and most intelligent portion of the community to a great axtent had to be excluded from the trial of offenders against the! law." ! What the juror rcqnirers under the new law is to be able to satisfy the Court that he has such controTover his opinion aud mental opera tions as will enable him to listen to the evi dence and determine the case substantially in the same manner as thorigh no 1 opinion had previously found a lodgement in his mind. This is good sense and id now- decid ed also to be good law. Sew York Obse. -ter, ';!.- One of the objects of interest at the pres ent moment to the lounger in the Strand, London, is a copy of an English newspaper displayed in a window in the condition it reached a subscriber in Russia, after passing through the hands of Russian authorities. An article on Russia entirely obliterated. The manner in which tho Russian authori ties manage these things is wonderfully sim ple and effectual, They take a printer's rol ler, covered with printer's ink, and run it np and down the objectionable columns till not a word can be deciphered.-' Some of the Chicago papers are bemoan ing the fact tliatthe typographical error still exists One ot them recently wanted to say "holy of holies," when the type made it ''baby of babies." which was slightly ri diculous.. Another said "prairie chicken citizens of Memphis," instead of "panic stricken citizens." The same paper explain ed: that, iistead of saying 'Mr; Brown's great pugnose,'' it meant to say Mr. Brown's purpose," as the context would show. That was about as bad as the New England jour nsl that made the clergyman's text read "la there no barn in Guilford?" U is difficult for us to understand that men engaged in the little affairs of this poor unsatisfying life on earth, with at! its petty concerns and troubles, are what Scripture reveals to us, heirs of immortality intended for! heaven, to be made equal to the angels, and to'dwcll for ever with God. And yet our Blessed Saviour would not only havens deeply impressed with this truth ourselves, and always acting under this impression but also look upon others in this light as fellow-heirs of the grace of life. Our Lord's childhood at once raises the common life of us all up to heaven. Itaac Williams. Ji'DGE Ltxch's Court. Cincinnati, Oct. 23.
